Islam is life-threatening to our safety and civilisation, and doesn't belong in the Netherlands.

What was said

Wilders posted, in Dutch, that “de islam een levensgevaarlijke ideologie is voor onze veiligheid en beschaving en dus niet bij Nederland hoort.” In English: Islam is a life-threatening ideology for our safety and civilisation and therefore does not belong in the Netherlands.

Why it counts

Criticising a religion's doctrines is protected, and plenty of people do it without concluding that it can't be present in a country.

Doesn't belong in the Netherlands is about people, since a religion is only in a country if its followers are. Framing it as an ideology rather than a faith is what makes the exclusion sound like policy.
